Get to know each school
Regent Secondary School
Regent Secondary opened in 2000 at Unity Secondary School before moving to 50 Choa Chu Kang North 5 in 2001. MOE records a concert-band niche in 2013, an underwater-robotics Applied Learning Programme in 2014 and community and youth leadership as its Learning for Life Programme from 2016. The current ALP page identifies resource sustainability as the focus from 2024. Families should therefore distinguish historical robotics descriptions from the programme described for today’s pupils, rather than assume the earlier provision remains unchanged.
The resource-sustainability ALP links food and water issues with subjects including English, Geography, Science, Mathematics and Nutrition & Food Science. Published examples include interdisciplinary learning journeys, student-initiated learning during home-based learning and cohort VIA projects with community partners. A second tier offers external forums, competitions and conservation advocacy. These are described opportunities, not confirmation that every pupil takes every trip or competition. ALP is non-examinable, so parents can ask how projects fit alongside assessed subjects and how specialist opportunities are allocated.
St. Gabriel's Secondary School
St Gabriel’s School began in 1953 with 212 pupils, spanning primary and early secondary levels. It became a full school in 1958 and split into separate primary and secondary schools in 1969. The secondary school remained on Upper Serangoon Road before moving to Serangoon Avenue 1 at the end of 1992. Its golden jubilee was celebrated in 2003. Later heritage projects included a replica of the old gate in 2016 and a time capsule sealed in 2018 for opening in 2053. This gives the campus’s history some context without assuming the primary school’s current programmes apply to the secondary school.
The Applied Learning Programme focuses on aviation and future transportation. The school describes recognition as a CAAS Aviation Initiative School and a partnership with Boeing Singapore. Secondary 1 pupils learn flight principles and design, build and test an unpowered glider; Secondary 2 introduces drone operations, basic coding, navigation, AI and automation. AeroWings uses simulation software for aircraft controls and flight missions. The page also lists competitions, workshops, learning journeys and overseas trips. Those enrichment platforms need cohort-specific confirmation: they are not a pilot licence, an industry placement or a promise that every pupil travels overseas.
